The Surviving Corporation’s directors shall be replaced with the Persons who were directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each director shall serve until the earlier of such director’s resignation or removal or otherwise ceasing to be a director or until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.6 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Person:

(a) Cancellation of Certain Company Capital Stock. Each share of Company Capital Stock that is owned, immediately prior to the Effective Time, by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise), or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries, shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Company Capital Stock. Each share of Company Capital Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Capital Stock to be canceled and retired in accordance with Section 2.6(a) and other than Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Closing Per Share Consideration of such Company Capital Stock in cash, without interest. Each such share of Company Capital Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. Each certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented any such shares of Company Capital Stock (a “Company Certificate”) shall cease to represent any rights except the right to receive, in accordance with Section 3.1(d), the Closing Per Share Consideration of such Company Capital Stock with respect to each share of Company Capital Stock that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, was represented thereby.

(c) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of Merger Sub’s capital stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Company Common Stock.

SECTION 2.7 Effect on Other Securities.

(a) Conversion of Company Options. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Person, each unexpired and unexercised Company Option (whether or not then exercisable or vested) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive its Closing Per Option Consideration in cash, without interest. Each such Company Option, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall be canceled. Each such Company Option shall cease to represent any rights except the right to receive the Closing Per Option Consideration.

(b) Conversion of Company Warrants. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Person, each unexpired and unexercised Company Warrant (whether or not then exercisable or vested) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive its Closing Per Warrant Consideration in cash, without interest. Each such Company Warrant, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall be canceled. Each such Company Warrant shall cease to represent any rights except the right to receive the Closing Per Warrant Consideration.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary and appropriate actions to facilitate the provisions of Section 2.7(a) and 2.7(b).

SECTION 2.8 Estimated Net Working Capital. The Company will deliver to Parent, not less than three (3) or more than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a statement (the “Estimated Net Working Capital Statement”) that will set forth a good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”). The “Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to (A) the Estimated Net Working Capital minus (B) the Minimum Required Net Working Capital.

SECTION 2.9 Final Net Working Capital; Release from Working Capital Escrow Fund. The Final Net Working Capital shall be determined as follows:

(a) Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Parent and the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholders’ Agents a statement (the “Net Working Capital Adjustment Statement”) showing in reasonable detail their computation of the Net Working Capital of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Net Working Capital”). The Net Working Capital Adjustment Statement shall be prepared in good faith and in accordance with GAAP (except as may be required to adhere to the definition of Net Working Capital used in this Agreement), applied on a basis consistent with that used in the preparation of the Estimated Net Working Capital Statement. As an example only, the calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital, as if the Closing Date were on July 31, 2010, is set forth on Schedule 2.9(a). The Stockholders’ Agents shall have the opportunity to review any work papers prepared by the Company in connection with the preparation of the Net Working Capital Adjustment Statement.

(b) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Net Working Capital Adjustment Statement (the “Objection Period”), the Stockholders’ Agents, by written notice to Parent and the Company, shall accept or object, in good faith, to the Closing Date Net Working Capital as set forth in the Net Working Capital Adjustment Statement, setting forth in such notice the Stockholders’ Agents’ objection in reasonable detail, specifying the basis for such objection and the amount in dispute (the “Notice of Objection”). During the first twenty (20) days following the date upon which Parent and the Company receive the Notice of Objection, Parent and the Stockholders’ Agents shall attempt in good faith to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to all matters specified in the Notice of Objection. If, at the end of such twenty (20) day period, all disputed items are not resolved, the remaining disputed items shall be submitted for resolution to an independent accounting firm of national reputation mutually acceptable to Parent and the Stockholders’ Agents (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), which shall, within thirty (30) calendar days after such submission, determine and report to Parent and Stockholders’ Agents upon such remaining disputed items and such report shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties, absent manifest error.

The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Parent and the Equityholders in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the disputed items resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm based on the difference between (i) Parent’s calculation of the Company’s Net Working Capital as initially submitted by Parent to the Independent Accounting Firm and (ii) the Stockholders’ Agents’ calculation of the Company’s Net Working Capital as initially submitted by the Stockholders’ Agents (on behalf of the Equityholders) to the Independent Accounting Firm. Such allocation shall be determined by the Independent Accounting Firm at the time its determination is rendered on the disputed items. For example, if Parent submitted a Net Working Capital of $4,000 and the Stockholders’ Agents submitted a Net Working Capital of $5,000, and if the Independent Accounting Firm determined that the Net Working Capital was $4,900 (i.e., allocating 90% of the $1,000 in dispute to the Equityholders and ten per cent (10%) of the $1,000 in dispute to Parent), then 90% of the fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting firm would be allocated to Parent and 10% of such fees and disbursements would be allocated to the Equityholders.

(c) The term “Final Net Working Capital” shall mean (i) the Closing Date Net Working Capital as set forth in the Net Working Capital Adjustment Statement if the Stockholders’ Agents accept the Net Working Capital Adjustment Statement as delivered or does not deliver a Notice of Objection during the Objection Period or (ii) the Closing Date Net Working Capital determined pursuant to Section 2.9(b) above, if the Stockholders’ Agents deliver a Notice of Objection during the Objection Period.

(d) If the Final Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, then, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent (i) shall release to Parent from the Working Capital Escrow Fund cash having a value equal to the difference between the Final Net Working Capital and the Estimated Net Working Capital and (ii) thereafter shall release all remaining cash held in the Working Capital Escrow Fund to each Equityholder in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, subject to the provisions of Section 2.9(f). If the Final Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital by more than the value of the remaining cash in the Working Capital Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent also shall release to Parent from the Indemnity Escrow Fund (Primary) cash having a value equal to the shortfall.

(e) If the Final Net Working Capital is greater than or equal to the Estimated Net Working Capital, then (i) pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall release all remaining cash held in the Working Capital Escrow Fund to the Equityholders in accordance with each Equityholder’s Pro Rata Share and (ii) Parent shall pay to each Equityholder its Pro Rata Share of any such aggregate overage, within ten (10) Business Days of the determination of the overage; provided, however, that, for the purposes of this Section 2.9(e), (i) if invoicing in July 2010, in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices, is in excess of $782,000 but less than or equal to $1,282,000, then the Final Net Working Capital shall only include $782,000 of such invoicing or (ii) if invoicing in July 2010, in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices, is in excess of $1,282,000, then the Final Net Working Capital shall exclude $500,000 of such invoicing.

(f) If the Stockholders’ Agents deliver a Notice of Objection during the Objection Period, then the Escrow Agent shall release (i) cash having a value equal to the net undisputed amount due from the Working Capital Escrow Fund to Parent or the Equityholders (as the case may be) within three (3) Business Days after delivery of such Notice of Objection and (ii) cash having a value equal to the remaining amount, if any, due from the Working Capital Escrow Fund to Parent or the Equityholders (as the case may be) within three (3) Business Days after the date all disputed items are finally resolved pursuant to Section 2.9(b).

(d) Exchange Procedures.

(i) If a Stockholder has delivered, at or prior to the Closing, to the Surviving Corporation for cancellation the Company Certificates representing such Stockholder’s shares of Company Capital Stock and a duly completed and validly executed copy of the letter of transmittal referred to in Section 3.1(d)(ii) in accordance with the instructions therein, then, promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or American Stock Transfer & Trust Company to deliver, to such Stockholder the aggregate amount of consideration payable to such Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.6.

(ii) If a Stockholder has not satisfied the requirements of Section 3.1(d)(i), then, promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall mail to such Stockholder (A) a letter of transmittal, which (1) shall specify that the delivery of the consideration to be delivered to such Stockholder under this Agreement shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon delivery of such Stockholder’s Company Certificates and (2) shall include representations and warranties as to ownership and title to such Stockholder’s Company Capital Stock and Tax-related matters and (B) instructions for effecting the surrender of such Stockholder’s Company Certificates in exchange for the consideration to be delivered to such Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.6. If such Stockholder subsequently delivers to the Surviving Corporation for cancellation such Stockholder’s Company Certificates and a duly completed and validly executed copy of the letter of transmittal referred to in this Section 3.1(d)(ii) in accordance with the instructions therein, then, promptly after the Surviving Corporation’s receipt thereof, Parent shall deliver, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or American Stock Transfer & Trust Company to deliver, to such Stockholder the aggregate amount of consideration payable to such Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.6. If (A) such Stockholder’s Company Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and (B) such Stockholder subsequently delivers to the Surviving Corporation such Stockholder’s duly completed and validly executed affidavit of that fact and such Stockholder’s duly completed and validly executed indemnity agreement, in customary form and substance, then, promptly after the Surviving Corporation’s receipt thereof, Parent shall deliver, or cause the Surviving Corporation or American Stock Transfer & Trust Company to deliver, to such Stockholder the aggregate amount of consideration that would have been payable to such Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.6 had such Stockholder delivered such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificates to the Surviving Corporation.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if required by the DGCL, but only to the extent required thereby, each share of Company Capital Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is held by a Stockholder who (i) did not execute the Merger Consent and (ii) properly exercised appraisal rights with respect thereto in accordance with the DGCL (a “Dissenting Share”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Closing Per Share Consideration of such Company Capital Stock. Each Stockholder holding Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Stockholder’s Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL unless and until such Stockholder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such Stockholder’s right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. If, after the Effective Time, such Stockholder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such right, then each of such Stockholder’s shares of Company Capital Stock that was a Dissenting Share shall thereupon be treated as if it had been converted into, at the Effective Time, the right to receive the Closing Per Share Consideration applicable to such share(s) of Company Capital Stock, without any interest thereon. The Company shall give Parent and Merger Sub prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, withdrawals of demands for appraisal and any other related instruments received by the Company.

(b) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and no transfer of shares of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, Company Certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided for in this Agreement.

SECTION 3.4 Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to an Equityholder and timely remit to the appropriate Governmental Authority such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code (including under Sections 1441, 1445 or 3406 of the Code, if applicable) or any applicable provision of Tax-related Law; provided, however, that, within thirty (30) days following the date of such withholding, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Escrow Agent shall notify such Equityholder of the amount of such withholding and provide such Equityholder with a receipt or other evidence showing payment of such withheld amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority.

(a) From and after the Closing, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to comply in all respects with the WARN Act and any other applicable Law relating to employee terminations or plant or facilities closings (or other similar events requiring similar notice to employees), including providing any required notices and complying with any required waiting periods.

(b) As contemplated by Section 8.2(i) of this Agreement, at the request of Parent, the Company will terminate the Company 401(k) Plan on the day prior to the date that includes the Effective Time. Parent shall allow each full-time Company Employee to participate in the Parent 401(k) Plan as soon as practical following the Effective Time provided that such Company Employee (i) is employed in the United States, (ii) was a Company Employee immediately before the Effective Time, and (iii) is eligible to participate in the Parent 401(k) Plan. To the extent that Parent 401(k) Plan accepts rollover contributions from the Company 401(k) Plan by such Company Employees (including rollovers of any promissory notes and security agreements evidencing any outstanding plan loans under the Company 401(k) Plan as of the Effective Time) in such a manner that such Company Employees will not be deemed to have received a taxable distribution of their account balances under the Company 401(k) Plan, the Parent 401(k) Plan shall accept such rollover contributions. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Equityholders, all officers, directors and employees of the Company, and all fiduciaries of the Company 401(k) Plan (including the trustees of the Company 401(k) Plan) from any and all claims or Liabilities solely related to the early termination of the Company 401(k) Plan as contemplated by Section 8.2(i), provided that Parent’s indemnification obligation shall not apply to any claims or Liabilities arising out of or related to any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty contained in Section 4.16 or any claims or Liabilities that existed prior to the termination of the Company 401(k) Plan.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, in accordance with Article X, the Equityholders covenant that they shall indemnify the Parent (out of the Indemnity Fund (Primary)) for any breaches of or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.16 related to the Company Benefit Plans.

(d) Parent shall be responsible for any costs or expenses associated with the termination of the Company 401(k) Plan, including costs relating to filings Parent determines to be made with the Department of Labor, IRS and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

(e) Parent shall be responsible for all costs and expenses, including severance payments and post-termination benefits, in connection with the termination of employment, which termination occurs at or following the Effective Time, of any Company Employee, including severance payments and post-termination benefits pursuant to those agreements listed in Section 4.15(a)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

SECTION 7.8 Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes, if any, arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne equally by Parent, on the one hand, and the Equityholders (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares with the Equityholders’ portion payable from the Indemnity Escrow Fund (Primary)), on the other hand.

SECTION 7.9 Disclosure Schedules; Supplementation and Amendment of Schedules. From time to time prior to the Closing, the Company shall promptly supplement or amend the Company Disclosure Schedule with respect to any matter hereafter arising or discovered after the delivery of the Company Disclosure Schedule pursuant to this Agreement that would (i) render any of the Company’s representations or warranties in this Agreement that are qualified as to materiality inaccurate or incomplete in any respect or (ii) would render any of the Company’s other representations or warranties in this Agreement inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, except to the extent such representations and warranties are specifically made as of a particular date (in which case this Section 7.9 shall apply with respect to inaccuracy or incompletion as of such date); provided, however, that no such supplements or amendments to the Company Disclosure Schedule shall (i) avoid or cure any misrepresentation or breach of warranty, (ii) amend or otherwise modify the Company Disclosure Schedule delivered on the date hereof or the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein with respect to the representations and warranties of the Company as of the date hereof or (iii) otherwise have any effect on the satisfaction of the conditions to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to close hereunder. Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that (i) the truth and accuracy of the Company Disclosure Schedule delivered contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be determined as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) the truth and accuracy of the Company Disclosure Schedule delivered contemporaneously with the Closing shall be determined as of the Closing Date, except, in each case, to the extent that a section of the Company Disclosure Schedule relates to a representation or warranty that is specifically made as of particular date, in which case the truth and accuracy of such section shall be determined as of such date.

SECTION 7.10 280G Covenant. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall submit to a stockholder vote the right of any “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) to receive any and all payments (or other benefits) that could be deemed “parachute payments” under Section 280G(b) of the Code, in a manner that satisfies the stockholder approval requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder to the extent any such stockholder approval can establish the “disqualified individual’s” right to the payment, benefit or other compensation. If any stockholder vote is taken pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then before the Closing, the Company shall provide adequate disclosure to all stockholders of all material facts concerning all payments that, but for such stockholder vote, could be deemed “parachute payments” to a “disqualified individual” under Section 280G of the Code in a manner that satisfies Section 280G(b)(5)(B)(ii) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

SECTION 7.11 Exclusivity.

If at the end of such thirty (30) day period all disputed items are not resolved, then the remaining disputed items shall be submitted for resolution in accordance with Section 11.10.

(d) Determination of Damages. For the purpose of this Article X, when determining the amount of Damages suffered as a result of any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty, or any failure to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement given or made by the Company or the Equityholders that is qualified or limited in scope as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall be deemed to be made or given without such qualification or limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all exceptions, qualifications and other information set forth in those sections of the Company Disclosure Schedule that are referred to in Schedule 10.2(e) attached hereto shall be disregarded in determining (i) whether there has been a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty made by the Company in Article IV of this Agreement, (ii) the Damages incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, or any of them, directly or indirectly arising out of, resulting from or in connection with such breach or inaccuracy, and (iii) whether the Buyer Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article X.

(a) Upon receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of any actual or possible Action that has been or may be brought or asserted by a third party against such Indemnitee and that may be subject to indemnification hereunder (a “Third Party Action”), the Indemnitee (or, if all of the Equityholders are the Indemnitee, then the Stockholders’ Agents acting on behalf of the Equityholders) shall promptly give notice of such Third Party Action (a “Third Party Action Notice”) to the Indemnitor (or, if the Equityholders are the Indemnitor, then the Stockholders’ Agents acting on behalf of the Equityholders) indicating the nature of such Third Party Action, the stated basis therefor, reasonable detail to allow the assessment thereof, and the amount of Damages claimed thereunder, in each case to the extent known by the Indemnitee.

(b) The Buyer Parties shall defend such Third Party Action but shall not enter into any settlement of such Third Party Action unless such settlement is approved in writing by the Stockholders’ Agents (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article X (including Section 10.4(c)), all fees, costs and expenses (including legal, accounting, consulting, court and arbitration fees, costs and expenses) incurred by the Buyer Parties in connection with investigating or defending against such Third Party Action (“Expense Amount”) shall be indemnifiable and paid to the Buyer Parties from (i) the Indemnity Escrow Fund (Primary) and (ii) if such Third Party Action relates to a representation or warranty contained in Section 4.14 of the Merger Agreement, a Specified Representation, or a matter described in Section 10.1(b) or Section 10.1(d) of the Merger Agreement and no cash remains in the Indemnity Escrow Fund (Primary), from the Indemnity Escrow Fund (Secondary), in each case without regard to whether Stockholders’ Agent objects to or disputes the payment of all or a portion of the Expense Amount. If the Stockholders’ Agent objects to or disputes such payment, then the objection or dispute shall be resolved as provided in Section 11.10 and, if the arbitrator or court, as applicable, finally determines that the Buyer Parties were not entitled to receive all or a portion of such payment, then the Buyer Parties shall deliver to Escrow Agent the portion of the payment that they were not entitled to receive.

(c) The Stockholders’ Agents shall be entitled to retain separate or additional counsel to act on behalf of the Equityholders and to participate in the defense of such Third Party Action if and only if (i) the named parties to such Third Party Action include a Buyer Party and an Equityholder, (ii) the Stockholders’ Agents have been advised by their counsel that representation of the named parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual or potential differing interest between them and (iii) the Stockholders’ Agents pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel. The Stockholders’ Agents shall be entitled to reimbursement, from the Indemnity Escrow Fund or the Equityholders (based on their Pro Rata Share), of the reasonable out-of-pocket and documented fees and disbursements of such counsel, as well as for any other costs and expenses incurred by the Stockholders’ Agents in connection with their performance of their duties hereunder.

(d) If the Indemnitor (or, if the Equityholders are the Indemnitor, then the Stockholders’ Agents acting on behalf of the Equityholders) dispute the right of the Indemnitee to indemnification under this Article X with respect to such Third Party Action, then the amount of Damages incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such Third Party Action, and the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Article X with respect thereto, shall be resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to Section 11.10.

SECTION 10.4 Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding Sections 10.2 and 10.3:

(a) Recourse to Indemnity Escrow Fund.

(i) Any amounts payable by the Equityholders to a Buyer Party pursuant to this Article X shall be paid solely from the Indemnity Escrow Fund (Primary) in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement until it is depleted or terminates.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 10.4(a)(i), and subject to Section 10.4(d), any amounts payable by the Equityholders to a Buyer Party pursuant to this Article X that relate to a breach or inaccuracy of representation or warranty contained in Section 4.14 (Intellectual Property Rights) shall be paid (i) solely from the Indemnity Escrow Fund (Primary) until it is depleted or terminates and (ii) thereafter, solely from the Indemnity Escrow Fund (Secondary) until it is depleted or terminates, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(iii) Notwithstanding Section 10.4(a)(i), any amounts payable by the Equityholders to a Buyer Party pursuant to this Article X that relate to a breach or inaccuracy of a Specified Representation or any matter described in Section 10.1(b) or Section 10.1(d) shall be paid (i) solely from the Indemnity Escrow Fund (Primary) in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement until it is depleted or terminates, and (ii) thereafter, solely from the Indemnity Escrow Fund (Secondary) in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement until it is depleted or terminates, and (iii) thereafter, by recourse to the Equityholders, severally (based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares), and not jointly, and the Equityholders shall promptly pay same; provided, however, that in no event shall an Equityholder be obligated under this Section 10.4(a)(iii) to pay more than the aggregate consideration received by such Equityholder pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Insurance Coverage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of computing the amount of any Damages incurred by any Buyer Party under this Article X, there shall be deducted the amount of any insurance proceeds received by such Buyer Party in connection with such Damages (it being understood that such Buyer Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such proceeds).

(c) Basket. The indemnification provided for in Section 10.2(a)(i) shall not apply except to the extent that the aggregate Damages against which the Buyer Parties would otherwise be entitled to be indemnified under this Article X exceeds Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000), in which event the Buyer Parties shall be entitled to be indemnified only against the portion of such Damages in excess of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000). The limitation set forth in the preceding sentence shall not apply to Section 2.9, Section 10.3(b), or to amounts payable by the Equityholders to a Buyer Party pursuant to this Article X that relate to (i) a Tax Representation, (ii) a Specified Representation or (iii) the Company’s, the Stockholders’ Agents’, or their respective Affiliate’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud.

(d) Additional Limitations on Indemnification for Intellectual Property Infringement. Except as provided in Schedule 10.4(d), in no event shall the amount payable to a Buyer Party pursuant to this Article X with respect to a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty contained in Section 4.14(f)(i) and Section 4.14(h) exceed $5.9 million unless, at the time of making such representation or warranty, such breach or inaccuracy was Known by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, and by way of example only, the application of this Section 10.4(d) is set forth in Schedule 10.4(d) hereof.

SECTION 10.5 Limitation on Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT OR PROVIDED FOR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE LAW, NO PARTY NOR ANY EQUITYHOLDER, NOR ANY CURRENT OR FORMER SHAREHOLDER, DIRECTOR, OFFICER, EMPLOYEE, AFFILIATE OR ADVISOR OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, SHALL, IN ANY EVENT, BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PERSON, EITHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES ASSOCIATED WITH ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST OPPORTUNITIES OF SUCH OTHER PERSON (INCLUDING LOSS OF FUTURE REVENUE, INCOME OR PROFITS, DIMINUTION OF VALUE OR LOSS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION) RELATING TO THE BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH HEREOF OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, WHETHER OR NOT THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES HAS BEEN DISCLOSED TO THE OTHER PARTY IN ADVANCE OR COULD HAVE BEEN REASONABLY FORESEEN BY SUCH OTHER PARTY.

SECTION 10.6 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. The parties agree that any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article X shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the purchase price unless otherwise required by Law.

SECTION 10.7 Sole Remedy. The provisions of this Article X, Section 11.10, Section 11.13 and the Escrow Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties for any Damages with respect to which indemnification may be sought from the Indemnity Escrow Fund (Primary) or Indemnity Escrow Fund (Secondary) pursuant to this Article X.

The equitable remedies described in this Section 11.13 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies at law or in equity that the parties to this Agreement may elect to pursue.

SECTION 11.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(b) Stockholders’ Agents.

(i) Appointment of Stockholders’ Agents.

The Stockholders’ Agents hereby accept such nomination, constitution and appointment.

(ii) Authority. Without limiting the generality of Section 11.16(b)(i), the Equityholders grant to the Stockholders’ Agents, and each of them individually, full authority to execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify and file on behalf of the Equityholders (in the name of any or all of the Equityholders or otherwise) any and all documents that the Stockholders’ Agents may, in their sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, in such forms and containing such provisions as the Stockholders’ Agents may, in their sole discretion, determine to be appropriate, in performing their duties as contemplated in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement executed in connection with the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby, each Equityholder shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Equityholder by the Stockholders’ Agents, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Equityholder by the Stockholders’ Agents, as fully binding upon such Equityholder.

If such nominee is reasonably satisfactory to Parent, then such nominee shall succeed such Stockholders’ Agent as a Stockholders’ Agent hereunder. If for any reason there are no Stockholders’ Agents at any time, all references herein to the Stockholders’ Agents shall be deemed to refer to the Equityholders.

(v) Limitation of Liability of Stockholders’ Agents. The Stockholders’ Agents shall incur no liability to the Equityholders with respect to any action or omission by the Stockholders’ Agents other than with respect to the Stockholders’ Agents’ fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.
